Genesis 44:30-32

Evangelical Heritage Version

³⁰ So now when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us, since my father’s life is bound up in the boy’s life, ³¹ when he sees that the boy is no more, he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, to the grave with sorrow. ³² For your servant became a guarantee for the boy to my father. I said, ‘If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the blame before my father forever.’
